Packaging Corporation of America said it plans to increase its quarterly cash dividend by 20%.
The increase to $1.50 a share from $1.25 a share represents the company's disciplined approach to capital allocation, said Chief Executive Mark Kowlzan.
The new annual payout, equal to $6 a year, represents an annual yield of about 2.7%, based on Tuesday's closing price of $219.95.
The first quarterly dividend will be paid on July 15 to shareholders of record as of June 15.
